There really should be a nationally recognized holiday for the winter solstice. Something called: "The days are finally going to start getting longer" day, or "The countdown to spring" day, or "That shitty season till spring" day, or my favorite: "**** winter" day.

so apparently it's "giving tuesday"

you are encouraged to 'give back'. charity is wonderful, but being guilted into it is shameful. it is up to me, and me alone, to decide who, what, and how much to give to those i choose. it's not your place to dictate such.

and 'give back'? that sounds like i stole something that isn't mine. :slap:

Well, you can always give advice, a penny for thoughts, a compliment, a back-handed compliment, your piece of mind, your opinion, a hard time, a swift kick, a boot up the ass, a right cross, and a rat's ass or a flying f'ck (although I don't usually give those)

We have lived at this house for over 30 years and have done it every year. I used to cover the whole house, two story cape cod style from ground to tip of roof as well as the 3 car garage, fences and lawn. The house was light up like the Griswold's and you could see it for quite a distance, we made the papers a few times, it was like a beacon in the sky for people to find us. We live in the country.
But now that I am getting old and shaky on the ladders and roof, I only do the lower level of the house, but still do the garage and lawn.

Got the results back from my retesting, Doc. talked to me for over a half an hour, it wasn't very good news. That was Thurs. afternoon. He got me in right away on Friday and started new treatments, Haven't been feeling good the last couple of days, physically and emotionally, just feeling like crap all over. I am a little better today and have been thinking about this a lot, trying to keep positive, but it is tough. I know things will get better again soon, and I know things are going to be OK.

I think I picked them up. For the last couple of weeks, I have intentionally done as little physical work as possible so this hip can heal. Everything is on hold, and I lie down every time it starts to get sore. So I am literally bored off my ass. And when I'm bored, I eat. I've already let the belt out a notch.

My youngest daughter is taking me Christmas shopping tonight and out for my birthday supper ( Dec 7).

Got the results back from my retesting, Doc. talked to me for over a half an hour, it wasn't very good news. That was Thurs. afternoon. He got me in right away on Friday and started new treatments, Haven't been feeling good the last couple of days, physically and emotionally, just feeling like crap all over. I am a little better today and have been thinking about this a lot, trying to keep positive, but it is tough. I know things will get better again soon, and I know things are going to be OK. Sorry for the rant.

I am so sorry Sarge. it is very hard to have a positive attitude. My wife was diagnosed with a bad strain of uterine cancer last year. Worst time of my life and I can only try to imagine how you feel sometime.

My wife and I believed in the tenets of the book The Secret. I attribute that along with our religious belief and faith, she is cancer free after a year and a half. Prayers for you man..

Job 19:25-27

25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

we have little control of what becomes of our corruptible bodies, but our faith endures.

brave men:

John Kelly's speech about 2 Marines in the path of a truck bomb - Business Insider (http://www.businessinsider.com/john-kellys-speech-truck-bomb-2016-12)

Gen. John Kelly:



Two years ago when I was the Commander of all U.S. and Iraqi forces, in fact, the 22nd of April 2008, two Marine infantry battalions, 1/9 “The Walking Dead,” and 2/8 were switching out in Ramadi. One battalion in the closing days of their deployment going home very soon, the other just starting its seven-month combat tour.

Two Marines, Corporal Jonathan Yale and Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter, 22 and 20 years old respectively, one from each battalion, were assuming the watch together at the entrance gate of an outpost that contained a makeshift barracks housing 50 Marines.

The same broken down ramshackle building was also home to 100 Iraqi police, also my men and our allies in the fight against the terrorists in Ramadi, a city until recently the most dangerous city on earth and owned by Al Qaeda. Yale was a dirt poor mixed-race kid from Virginia with a wife and daughter, and a mother and sister who lived with him and he supported as well. He did this on a yearly salary of less than $23,000. Haerter, on the other hand, was a middle class white kid from Long Island.

They were from two completely different worlds. Had they not joined the Marines they would never have met each other, or understood that multiple America’s exist simultaneously depending on one’s race, education level, economic status, and where you might have been born. But they were Marines, combat Marines, forged in the same crucible of Marine training, and because of this bond they were brothers as close, or closer, than if they were born of the same woman.

The mission orders they received from the sergeant squad leader I am sure went something like: “Okay you two clowns, stand this post and let no unauthorized personnel or vehicles pass.” “You clear?” I am also sure Yale and Haerter then rolled their eyes and said in unison something like: “Yes Sergeant,” with just enough attitude that made the point without saying the words, “No kidding sweetheart, we know what we’re doing.” They then relieved two other Marines on watch and took up their post at the entry control point of Joint Security Station Nasser, in the Sophia section of Ramadi, al Anbar, Iraq.

A few minutes later a large blue truck turned down the alley way—perhaps 60-70 yards in length—and sped its way through the serpentine of concrete jersey walls. The truck stopped just short of where the two were posted and detonated, killing them both catastrophically. Twenty-four brick masonry houses were damaged or destroyed. A mosque 100 yards away collapsed. The truck’s engine came to rest two hundred yards away knocking most of a house down before it stopped.

Our explosive experts reckoned the blast was made of 2,000 pounds of explosives. Two died, and because these two young infantrymen didn’t have it in their DNA to run from danger, they saved 150 of their Iraqi and American brothers-in-arms.

When I read the situation report about the incident a few hours after it happened I called the regimental commander for details as something about this struck me as different. Marines dying or being seriously wounded is commonplace in combat. We expect Marines regardless of rank or MOS to stand their ground and do their duty, and even die in the process, if that is what the mission takes. But this just seemed different.

The regimental commander had just returned from the site and he agreed, but reported that there were no American witnesses to the event—just Iraqi police. I figured if there was any chance of finding out what actually happened and then to decorate the two Marines to acknowledge their bravery, I’d have to do it as a combat award that requires two eye-witnesses and we figured the bureaucrats back in Washington would never buy Iraqi statements. If it had any chance at all, it had to come under the signature of a general officer.

I traveled to Ramadi the next day and spoke individually to a half-dozen Iraqi police all of whom told the same story. The blue truck turned down into the alley and immediately sped up as it made its way through the serpentine. They all said, “We knew immediately what was going on as soon as the two Marines began firing.” The Iraqi police then related that some of them also fired, and then to a man, ran for safety just prior to the explosion.

All survived. Many were injured ... some seriously. One of the Iraqis elaborated and with tears welling up said, “They’d run like any normal man would to save his life.”

What he didn’t know until then, he said, and what he learned that very instant, was that Marines are not normal. Choking past the emotion he said, “Sir, in the name of God no sane man would have stood there and done what they did.”

“No sane man.”

“They saved us all.”

What we didn’t know at the time, and only learned a couple of days later after I wrote a summary and submitted both Yale and Haerter for posthumous Navy Crosses, was that one of our security cameras, damaged initially in the blast, recorded some of the suicide attack. It happened exactly as the Iraqis had described it. It took exactly six seconds from when the truck entered the alley until it detonated.

You can watch the last six seconds of their young lives. Putting myself in their heads I supposed it took about a second for the two Marines to separately come to the same conclusion about what was going on once the truck came into their view at the far end of the alley. Exactly no time to talk it over, or call the sergeant to ask what they should do. Only enough time to take half an instant and think about what the sergeant told them to do only a few minutes before: “ ... let no unauthorized personnel or vehicles pass.”

The two Marines had about five seconds left to live. It took maybe another two seconds for them to present their weapons, take aim, and open up. By this time the truck was half-way through the barriers and gaining speed the whole time. Here, the recording shows a number of Iraqi police, some of whom had fired their AKs, now scattering like the normal and rational men they were—some running right past the Marines. They had three seconds left to live.

For about two seconds more, the recording shows the Marines’ weapons firing non-stop...the truck’s windshield exploding into shards of glass as their rounds take it apart and tore in to the body of the son-of-a-bitch who is trying to get past them to kill their brothers—American and Iraqi—bedded down in the barracks totally unaware of the fact that their lives at that moment depended entirely on two Marines standing their ground. If they had been aware, they would have known they were safe ... because two Marines stood between them and a crazed suicide bomber.

The recording shows the truck careening to a stop immediately in front of the two Marines. In all of the instantaneous violence Yale and Haerter never hesitated. By all reports and by the recording, they never stepped back. They never even started to step aside. They never even shifted their weight. With their feet spread shoulder width apart, they leaned into the danger, firing as fast as they could work their weapons. They had only one second left to live.

The truck explodes. The camera goes blank. Two young men go to their God.

Six seconds.

Not enough time to think about their families, their country, their flag, or about their lives or their deaths, but more than enough time for two very brave young men to do their duty ... into eternity. That is the kind of people who are on watch all over the world tonight—for you.

After starting these new treatments, when I get up in the morning, I always feel like crap. It seems every joint in my body hurts, head to toe. I usually have to nap for a couple of hours and get up just after lunch time before I feel good enough to go and do some chores. So when I am done here, I am going for my nap, see you guys and gals later.

Just got in from all the chores the snow storm put off a few days. Turkey bought, tortierre and plum pudding got, foot attended to, old man picked up at train station, more shopping.......now I'm pooped! time for a nap! :yawn:

Hey Strats:seeya:...cool plane, reminds me of our Harvards they used to train on in WWII.
Interesting fact.....trainers were painted that color of yellow to tell other pilots to keep their distance....pilot in training! :willy:

tortierre

I made a tortierre from scratch last year. Easy to make, and it was delicious. Will have to make another one this year. :yesnod:

:canada:

[OldSarge]

Dense Fog advisory today here.

That will make the drive into work fun.

That's about what things look like out of my right eye right now, going to see about getting it fixed, mid Jan.

They were on my menu at the restaurant, my 3 meat recipe, for 15 years so I'm kind of sick of making them Snidely. Besides I tend to eat too much of it when it's home made. oink!

[MrPeabody]

Getting ready for three+ days of serious rain here. They think maybe five to nine inches. In this part of the country, that's huge, and it's enough to cause some problems.

We are currently house and dog sitting for my daughter while she and her family are laying on the beach in Hawaii. Five little dogs here yapping, but it sure is warm in bed with all of them. We went out and got our errands done and we will hole up now until the storm are over with. I just started a fire in the fireplace. I just hope the electricity stays on.

Holy cow....either drought or flooding....California just can't win these days. Watch out you don't slide off the side of the mountain! :willy:

Where we are house sitting is near the house we just sold earlier this year. We're okay because it's on elevated stable ground. We lived in this area for 25 years and saw storms bigger than this. Our mobile home is 20 miles from here and it's been sitting in the same spot for 39 years, so I'm not too worried about it. There is a nearby creek, but even the old timers can't remember it overflowing.

I worry about the areas where the recent fires left a lot of barren hillsides. Probably will be some slides and road closures around there.

Yes. But when they constantly raise the hanger door up instead of going through the entry door (installed in the hangere door) to go to the other planes outside, all the built up heat escapes. No heated water wash cart either. Fire hydrant cold azz water! http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i359/dixonwl/smileys/Frozen-frozen-freeze-winter-smiley-emoticon-000590-large_zps63tzzjvs.gif

It was in the 30's & 40's all day The temp inside the hanger was maybe 50 if we were lucky at best! When you're use to sweltering heat anything below 50 makes you feel like your freezing.

Make sure you use the correct propwash! :D

Yea ok, after you send me a yard of flight line! :D

Thanks.
I seem to have a bit more mobility without pain, so the Predinsone seems to be doing something. The Percosets kind of knock off the edge, but don't seem to do all that much. Low activity is causing me to add pounds. I'm "bored" eating, and when you are eating because you are bored, you eat crap. You snack like a mofo. One thing I've done is break out some lapidary equipment I bought off of craigslist last year. Teaching myself to grind some stones. Watching Youtube vids and practicing on gravel now. They say to practice on some marbles too.

Today is a little warmer (10F), but it's snowing (prolly 8-10 inches) which is supposed to stop Sunday....Sooooooo....it's going to be an inside day I think. Like Joe....I have to stay away from the Christmas cookies and goodies that have been rolling in as gifts..:sneaks:
